Notes: On this fourth day of filming at West Malling Air Station, the Beatles were joined on set by the actor and friend of the
band, Victor Spinetti. Spinetti appeared in a scene set in a hut outside the main hangar, in which Paul McCartney dressed up
in army uniform as Major McCartney, and Spinetti played a barking recruiting sergeant, shouting instructions at Ringo Starr, Aunt Jessie, and other passengers on the mystery trip.

The filming continued with sequences featuring Jolly Jimmy, who welcomed people inside the magic tent to watch "Blue Jay Way."
